So glad everyone gets back to work today!  Live theater is full of surprises, mostly wonderful, but occasionally difficult and and unfair. As Mama Rose says "That's show business". Hoping Gypsy has a long and uninterrupted run from here.  Let's go!

Wow.  What a night for the past, present, and future of American Theater!

Sat in the front row a few weeks ago.  Like being in the front car on a roller coaster. Everything feels a little more heightened.  Stage is not especially high.  

Went back last night. The show is in fantastic shape. Preview period was used wisely IMO. Hard to believe we are getting two career defining /Tony worthy performances right across the street from each other.  What a time for Broadway!

PS: For those that like the overture with the houselights down, your wish has been granted. 

Was at the first preview and returned this afternoon for a second look.  Wow!  Audra is giving a performance for the ages and no disrespect to Nicole, her 7th Tony! Joy has found her Louise! Danny has made Herbie feel more fully flushed out then in any prior broadway production I have seen and his chemistry with Audra and Joy enhances the laughs and the tears. I have warmed up to the new choreography.  Bravo Gypsy!! Must be seen.

it is already one of the best things on Broadway and will only takeoff from here. 

Long intermission.  But this is stunning.   Can not believe this is only the first performance.  Such a talented cast,  Direction and choreography are outstanding!!   Orchestra is lush and full!!! 

Mandy is giving her own wonderful/dazzling performance.  Wow!

Sadly, this did not work for me.  I am glad Shakespeare is not alive to see this bastardization of his work.   It felt to me like an attempt to be edgy and modern without any direction or emotional core. Honestly felt like a long awkward SNL skit, with the exception of Kit's work, which is a ray of light in the apocalypse.

Went tonight. Sold out.with people looking for cancelations. Extremely well written and acted. Stunning.

Excited to see this on Tuesday.  Missed it downtown and was really hoping I would get another opportnutiy!
